[QUOTE="CountryFrog, post: 2653525, member: 70667"] Very rarely is "straight ahead" run blocking truly "straight ahead." It's a term that is commonly used but defenses don't make it quite that easy. Most running plays will have a few truly straight ahead engagements with d-linemen but there are always going to be people on the DL who are trying to get an angle that you're going to have to get in front of. I think where the assessment of the OL being slow really shows up is their inability to cut off LBs. Since the OSU game, we've done an absolutely terrible job of getting up to the second level. LBs consistently get a free run at our ball carriers and its almost impossible to run the ball if you can't get any blocks at that second level. [/QUOTE]
